14/01: Long time no type
Well its been a few weeks since I have updated my blog, mainly because I've been busy catching up with people , xmas or just doing something else.
I managed to catch up with a lot of SES people at the Christmas party a few days after I got back. It was actually a good opportunity to see some new faces and see how many people I still remembered. It was great being welcomed back as I had only been in the country for a couple of days. It was also good to see that some form of the year in review has been carried on since I have left and a slide show presentation was put on.
Continued on after the party at Hornsby, but after being used to larger and much busier party environments we headed home after a few hours.
For Christmas and New Year Cass and I headed up to the Gold Coast. Taking turns in the driving we arrived in the early afternoon a few hours before a storm came through and cooled things down. Most of the time that we spent up there had beautiful weather with a few late stormy afternoons. We even got caught out one night when walking back from cavel avenue where heavy rain forced us to seek shelter for a fair while.
Was able to catch up with my brother and sister who I had not seen for over 2 years. Even got a visit from my mate Jason who was on a round Australia road trip.
Watched the fireworks on the beach for New Years, as well as watching the skinny dippers evade the police.
Eventually headed back to Sydney via the New England taking a more scenic and adventurous route. At least I enjoyed driving it, but the car would have been better on the dirt if it was a 4WD. anyway....
Haven't really gotten into the full swing of job hunting yet, but things do look a little slow in the job market. but hopefully as people start going back to work after the break things will start to pick up again. I'm in no rush, so I may as well enjoy the time off while I can.
